Re: Bottoming out on ramps?

This is a very intersting point, especially as it relates to climbing 12" high ramps.

We're designing with 4" ground cleareance (in the center), which allows for a ramp as steep and high as last year (which happened to be 12" high). I forget the angle, but I believe it's a bit more than 30 degrees.

In the end, regardless of how you do it (ground clearance, skid pad, 6 wheel drive, etc...), you definately want to keep ramp climbing in mind (assuming you're not the ramp!).
